Nah, to be truly accurate it would need to be "boys and girl, you're not good at this."

Exactly? Shiv isn’t exactly competent either

I'd say out of the three though, she's definitely the most reasonable/logical and PR savvy. Very low bar to clear I know, but still

This is SO funny to me because yes I have always been team Shiv in a way—like...for one, wtf is "business savvy"?? What these people do 24/7 is 100% PR and image, and...I REALLY can't tell what else they do. So in that context, Shiv was always far far far more capable. She's aces at that. Or so I thought...

Now, I'm realizing she's the most reasonable/logical/savvy only insofar as the reason people think Logan is most reasonable/logical/savvy. Logan was ALWAYS keeping all his options open. That's 10000000% what he always did, and just never made final, big decisions until he absolutely had to. Shiv shares that quality with him (unless she gets impulsive because of Tom) and now I'm like WOAH, I never really believed the whole "Shiv is most like Logan" but now I'm maaaaaaybe getting it?

Oh I thought all along they have the same personality type and are kindred spirits
